I was going through the latest issue of  The Economic Times Magazine. There are two articles on China, one of them comparing the condition of the work force in both the countries.  I will give some of the comparative figures that have mentioned therein, which are interesting:

India                  China

Total Workforce                  438 million          761 million

Women workers                   39%                   71%

Casual/contract workers        84%                  41%

Education Index                    71%                  39%

Both India and china together it is almost half of the world work-force.

A lot of revealing facts.
